Vote Here! the Library Is Pleased to Serve As a Vote Center During the Upcoming Primary Election Volume 26, Issue 8 October 2020 Halloween Plans! The Thorntown Heritage Museum welcomes all ghouls and gals to come and watch the fantastic magician Marcus Lehmann perform. The show will take place in front of the museum, at 124 West Main Street, on Halloween night. Marc will begin at 6:30 pm and perform until 8:00 pm. Museum volunteers will be there to hand out treat bags for costumed visitors. In case of bad weather the show will be moved to the Thorntown Library’s meeting rooms. In the meeting rooms there is a max of 32 people and masks will be required. Chairs will be spread out for social distancing. The Library lobby will not be open Halloween night for candy. Instead, come in during the week before Halloween, the 26th - 31st, during operating hours to receive a special treat! Have a safe and happy Halloween. Vote Here! The library is pleased to serve as a Vote Center during the upcoming primary election. Boone County implemented the Vote Center model in 2014, giving residents the freedom to visit any polling place to cast their vote. Voting is available at the library on the following dates: Thursday, October 29 from 1-8; Friday, October 30 from 1-8; Tuesday, November 3 from 6am-6pm. Early voting is also available at the Boone County Courthouse, Jamestown Municipal Building, Elizaville Christian Church, and several other locations throughout the county.

PAGE 2 “Book Your Bubble” for Small Group Programs Thorntown Public Library is continuing with the “Book Your Bubble” option for those who are interested in attending children’s programs. This is available to small groups of family/ friends who already socialize on a regular basis. Call Kathy or Barb at the Library (765-436-7348) to schedule a private bubble for up to 15 people from your family or friends. Available times vary, but programs may take place from 9:30-11:30 or 2:00-5:00, Tuesday through Friday. Bubble bookings are scheduled for 60 minutes or less. Rooms and work areas are to be sanitized between programs. We have many popular programs from which to choose: Makerspace, BINGO, Storytime, Board games, Lego Club and more! Call and we can talk over our many options and reserve a time for your “bubble”. Where Does Your Money Go? Lisa R. Cangany from Purdue Extension is partnering with the Thorntown Library for a Where Does Your Money Go? program. This is a two session program focusing on: Identifying spending leaks and needs vs wants Tracking expenses Budgeting and adding up the extras Writing financial goals Each session is about 90 minutes and all materials will be provided at no cost. The two ses- sions are scheduled about a month apart. The first program is on Tuesday Oct. 13 from 6:30 - 8:00 and the second one is Nov. 10 at the same time. Participants would need to attend both sessions, and social distancing and masks would be required. Register by Oct. 9 by calling the library at 765-436-7348. Zoom Bingocize® Bingocize® is a fun mix of Bingo, movement (based on ability), social engagement and health education for older adults. Prizes include household items, paper products, and more! Sally Catlin with CICOA is hosting a FREE online program starts that Tuesday, September 29th at 3:00 online. You will be meeting virtually via Zoom. Contact Sally Cat- lin for Zoom Link: [email protected] or 463-777-1182. If you are not familiar with Zoom the instructor can help you. Programs will be Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:00 - 4:00 pm. PAGE 5 Local Eagle Scout Featured in Magazine Reece Thompson, an Eagle Scout with Troop 350 of Advance, was pictured in the May/June issue of the Indiana Historical Society’s INPerspective magazine. His work to restore the Thorntown Colored Cemetery west of town, including the addition of an Indiana State His- torical Marker, is cause to celebrate both our local history and its champions. Over the course of two years Reece rescued an obscure five-headstone-marked Colored Cem- etery that lies between fields west of Thorntown. Although 27 names had for decades been listed as burials, Reece’s work with ground radar detection, surveyors, and historians deter- mined that there are many more interments there…as many as 49. In addition, the site has been fenced to protect from inadvertent dam- age by farm implements, and signage and histori- cal markers provide additional information. In 1865 and the years following, African- Americans, newly freed from slavery, migrated to the Thorntown area and settled because many of the pioneer settlers were Friends (Quakers) and known to be welcoming to African-Americans. Our local historical museum, however, con- tained no references to their lives and place in local history. Reece’s work has changed that, made a difference, and updated the community’s knowledge of its own history. The library receives more than 60 magazines, so plan to review some of them, including InPerspec- tive, located by the upstairs computer lab. Other magazines are by the adult non-fiction books and in the room downstairs that houses the juvenile book collection. Women’s Suffrage Celebration: Oct. 22 One hundred years ago women in the United States were finally granted the right to vote. In recognition of this significant change the Sugar Creek Historical Society (sponsor of the Thorntown Heritage Museum) will on October 22 at 7:00 p.m. host at the library speaker Marsha Miller whose topic will be “From Amanda to Zerelda: Hoosier Suffragists Who Raised a Ruckus”. Her presentation will include clothing of the 1920s and music/songs. The SCHS will hold its annual membership meeting at 6:45 p.m. Unless current re- strictions change, audience size will be limited to 32. PAGE 4 Museum Update The Thorntown Heritage Museum is now closed on Saturdays for the season. We are happy to schedule free tours at a convenient time. Groups or individuals are welcome to take a tour. Masks are still required at this time, and can be provided if needed. Call the library to schedule a tour, 765-436-7348 and ask for Sandy Naekel. Mask Mandate Extended Gov. Eric Holcomb said Indiana has made advances in curbing the spread of the corona- virus but the state’s mask mandate will continue through at least Oct. 17. “No one wants to wear a face mask. This is different for Americans, for Hoosiers. I get it,” Holcomb said. In response to the mandate, the library will continue to require masks or face coverings for all visitors age 8 or older. Masks are strongly recommended for ages 2-7. If you do not have a mask, there will be some at library circulation desks. Can’t wear a mask? Let us serve you via curbside service. Call the library to set up a time today! Thank you for your pa- tience and cooperation as we work through this. Book Discussion Book discussion meets at 1:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each month and is open to all adult readers, even those who haven’t finished their “assigned” reading. October’s selection is Unwritten by Charles Martin. This novel is both a story of loss and redemption and an adventure, follow- ing Father Steady Capri and actress Katie Quinn as they travel from Flori- da’s Ten Thousand Islands to the French countryside, confronting their pasts and searching for peace. Join the group as they discuss this book in the library’s Guinn room on October 19. Copies are available for check out at the adult circulation desk. Taste of Home Anyone who loves a good pitch-in and trying new recipes will enjoy Taste of Home! Cooks choose a recipe (old or new) to prepare, turn in a copy of the recipe to the library, then bring the prepared dish, a place setting, and an appetite to the meal. Guests will leave with new recipes for meatloaf, soups, salads, desserts, and everything in between. Our next Taste of Home program is Monday, November 2 at 6:00 pm. Have a recipe that you’ve been wanting to try but don’t want it to go to waste? Then Taste of Home is the perfect program for you. Call the library with any questions or to sign up! 765-436-7348 PAGE 5 Community Blood Drive Roll up your sleeves! Versiti (formerly Indiana Blood Center) is in need for blood donors, and has once again called on the Thorntown community (“Rockstars!”) to help fill the supply. They’ll be onsite in library meeting rooms from 1-5 p.m. on Friday, October 23. Please do not self- exclude - contact Versiti prior to donating, or schedule a slot. Visit the link below to schedule your donation! https://donate.indiana.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/143631 October is Gourd-geous! The Sugar Creek Gourd Patch will meet at the library from 6-8:00 p.m. on Wed., Oct. 7, to splatter paint on gourds. Visitors are invited and participants should bring acrylic paints and a cleaned gourd that may or may not have been base-painted. There will be time to work on drum necklaces and sand-flocking of bowls as well as individual projects. The Thorn Tree Gourd Patch will work on the same project from 2-4:00 p.m. on Wed., Oct.21. The November 4 and 18 meetings will include paper coiling on gourds, while December 2 and 16 will offer making Christmas ornaments from spinner gourds.

  • The Mashups of Youtube
    10.2478/nor-2013-0053 Nordicom Review 34 (2013) 2, pp. 47-63 The Mashups of YouTube Thomas Mosebo Simonsen Abstract This article focuses on YouTube mashups and how we can understand them as a specific subgenre on YouTube. The Mashups are analysed as audiovisual recontextualizations that are given new meaning, e.g., via collaborative social communities or for individual pro- motional purposes. This is elaborated on throughout a discussion on Mashups as a mode of everyday bricolages, which are moreover discussed through a theoretical approach to Mashups as exponents of what has been called “Vernacular Creativity”. The article also argues that the novelty of Mashups is not be found in its formal characteristic, but rather in its social and communicative abilities within the YouTube community. This leads to the article’s overall argument that the main characteristic of the YouTube Mashup can be explained in terms of connectivity. It is argued that Mashups reveal a double articulation of connectivity; one that involves the social mechanisms of the Mashups, and another mode, which concerns the explicit embedding of structural connectivity that accentuates the medium-specific infrastructure of YouTube. This double articulation of connectivity is furthermore elaborated on by including Grusin and Bolter’s concept of remediation. Methodologically, the article draws on empirical observations and examples of Mashups are included to demonstrate the article’s main arguments. Keywords: YouTube, mashups, connectivity, remediation, social media, vernacular creativity Introduction On YouTube, a culture of audiovisual expressions has emerged that I will characterize here as the Mashup culture of YouTube. Mashups are videos that have their origin in the music sampling culture and are considered recontexualizations of already existing materials (cf.

  • DETOUR-SPOTTING for White Anti-Racists
    DETOUR‐SPOTTING for white anti‐racists joan olsson For white people living in North America learning to be anti‐racist is a re‐education process. We must unlearn our thorough racist conditioning to re‐educate and re‐condition ourselves as anti‐ racists. There is scant social or political encouragement for this journey of re‐education. We are constantly tempted to detour off course by the racist propaganda of society and our own guilt and denial. In the face of society’s and our own resistance, sustaining the will to continue this journey takes bold and stubborn effort. This journey sends us into unfamiliar territory. No white person has ever lived in a non‐racist North America. We were never taught the skills of anti‐racist living. Indeed, we were carefully taught the opposite: how to maintain our white privilege. Racism, the system of oppression (of people of color) and advantage (for white people) depends on the collusion and cooperation of white people for its perpetuation. Most of us first became aware of racial prejudice and injustice as children. As white infants we were fed a pabulum of racist propaganda. That early “training” was comprehensive and left little room for question, challenge or doubt. Our childhood games, rhymes and media conspired: “Eenie, meenie, minie, mo; Catch a n…r by his toe …” We played cowboys and Indians. All of us knew the Indians were bad and had to die. My WWII generation watched “Bugs Bunny” outwit evil Japanese villains. As Lillian Smith acknowledged: “These ceremonials in honor of white supremacy, performed from babyhood, slip from the conscious mind down deep into muscles and glands…and become difficult to tear out.” (1) Our generous child wisdom told us racism was wrong, but there was no escaping the daily racist catechism.
